You dont see how a game could get better than X? O__O Um, i'm sorry, X is a great game and all, but VII, IX, and VI are far better. Seriously, you need to play through VII and IX all the way through and beat them.

I'd say you need to beat VI too....but i'm going to take a wild guess here and say you're the type who doesnt like old fugly 2D games.

VI wasn't that ugly. I honestly prefer crisp, clean 2D graphics as opposed to blocky, ugly 3D graphics. Back on topic, yes, get it. It's really a good game, although you might think differently about it.

Aye, i know it wasnt ugly, VI and Chrono Trigger were gorgeous 2D games. But i'm guessing by the way loseit talked about X that he doesnt much care for the old 2D ones.

Then again he did say he liked FFI and that's pretty inferior 2D. I dont see how he couldnt gain any interest in VII even though he was all the way up to the temple of the ancients o_O

I have beaton FF7 and i would say playing it is worth it! I don't mind the graphics at all but I loved the storyline and plot.

Trust me, i'm not a graphics whore, I could care less about the graphics which by the way were incredible for VII's time. I bet VII and IX are great games but i don't know about VI. Does that even have much of a story? because i love FFI anniversiary for PSP but it was kind of lacking depth. by the way does anyone think they could give me a list of remakes of the older games and what system they are for as i don't own a playstation or NES.

P.S.
The sheer number of people who support 7 so greatly has inspired me to pick it up again.

Ah good, you're not a shallow gamer then! ^^ VII has a massive fan base...sadly, many of them are stubborn, ignorant gamers who refuse to see that while VII is good and Sephiroth is a cool villian, there ARE better FFs and better villians, so try not to be swayed by them too much. VII is still a great game though, and IX and VI are even better (though many a Sephi fanboy would debate me on that). The story in VI is great and the characters are just amazing, they did such a wonderful job on character development in that game (IX as well).

As for Chrono Cross...i cant say, i've never been able to find the game. From what i've heard it's just as good as Chrono Trigger, though (which is saying alot).

Just because it was voted the best Final Fantasy, doesnt make it the best Final Fantasy in my book.

This sentence confuses me somewhat, you've already said it's a great game but are pondering over whether to complete it? I think you'd answered your own question back there, if you really weren't sure you wouldn't have used the word great, there must've been something in it that sucked you in. You made the right choice in the end, I'd say play it and make your own decision about the game, you may not like it as much as X in the end but you'll certainly get a good ride out of it.

Is this game worth playing? I would probably say yes but it is certainly not my favorite from the series. It is a good game though, some people really enjoy it but others may not so much. It depends on what you like I suppose. If you are a fan of the graphics then you may not like this much but if you are into the storyline the most, you will really like it!

It may be the best voted Final Fantasy game and such but it isn't my favorite at all. I like it but I prefer VIII.

I would love to see a remake of VII but I am worried that they will destroy the storyline and everything.
